๐ถโโ๏ธSpotted one of the Ardwick Climate Action Green Route signs today!
The route was developed by @ardwickclimate.bsky.social in partnership with Becker researchers to help the community avoid high-pollution areas, reducing the environmental triggers that drive inflammation and impact our health.
Prof Sheena Cruickshank @sheencr.bsky.social offers insight in The Guardian @theguardian.com on the science behind sneezing and what it reveals about our health #ImmunoSky

Editorial: The US health secretary says he is a big fan of peptides. Many are promising drugs, but the only way to know their utility is proper clinical trials
Emerging roles of ILC2 in neuronal crosstalk across organs. In a series of studies published in 2025, ILC2 were shown to regulate nervous system function across a range of organs across the body. Wit...
